1750 Tau 6th ed WOOT

owh but like say a termi deepstrike i can put a ion template on it right? but if its a droppod do you shot the drop pod or the troops after it has landed and come out of the pod?

either DP or troops...

aye.... so i can skip skyfire and take the interceptor rule lol

2nd Catachan Air Cav standing order no.328: when attacking the Tau xenos scum, hover!

hahahahhaha

What a Friday... Fought the great Spunky on friday night, The Alaitoc conceded in turn 4 or was it 5, to return back to their craftworld... I suspect the win is merely a test, and they will come back again to crush my tau to nothing very very soon... Did some fat trimmings and added a new unit to the fold the mighty pathfinders but unlike other pathfinders this guys will not be markerlighting (most of the time)... their job will be outflanking n killing rearguard units, staying 18 inches away and shoot. Charging them will be fun to watch They will overwatch then run D6 " anywhere. And u minus D3" to your charge distance... AND they got defensive grenades...

AND They are also armed with emp grenades which are actually haywires now... which is great! cause in the old dex it was 4,5 for glance, 6 for pen now it works like a haywire. My pathfinders will also be named as they are my kill team for legio kill team. So they are the best of the best of the best of the best so therefore they also cost a freaking bomb...

I am very light on super heavy weapons tho... I mean to really kill a LR i only got one very effective unit which are the crisis suits, maybe my pathfinders. I am opting out of the rail gun... I know It is what makes a Tau, but one shot weapons are very disappointing, and the template weapon is not ap3 so kinda not effective vs my main enemy the marines... In its place of a hammer head I will take x2 sky rays. Giving me more marker lights... And a good indirect support platform... which now stands at 18 markerlights, 4 network skyfire markerlights.

My MVP

BTW Its a bit flaky cause of the spray... I shaked it for 8mins before spraying... but i think it was the heat on that day and the humidity that made those flakes... either way I am starting to like it a bit cause it looks a bit raw...

and weathered like kena acid rain in an urban area

Btw this pic isnt fully finish I have painted and blended the sticker to the model and also some highlights here and there

That was very painful. I completely should have just charged you with my whole army (snipers included). Yes next time young upstart. Next time feel the wrath of the Eldar
